OddjobAbe was right with 'shadow'.

what do you put in a toaster?

OddjobAbe · #**152** 06-10-2009, 01:49 PM

Would toast be too obvious? Or is this one trying to trick me?

***Nate*** · #**153** 06-10-2009, 06:53 PM

A knife. Certainly explains my hairstyle.

MeechMunchie · #**154** 06-11-2009, 12:25 AM

Bread!

***Nate*** · #**155** 06-11-2009, 01:34 AM

Crumpets!
Bagels!
Half-toasted bread that needs a little more toasting!

I fear the answer is too dependant upon the person you are asking. Before long we'll see people saying "Broccoli!" "Eggs!" "Bills!" "CDs!" "Hamsters!"

i know, it was terrible. MeechMunchie was right though.

what cheese is made backwards?

OddjobAbe · #**158** 06-11-2009, 07:55 AM

Oh, fuck, I just realised how stupid my answer for the toaster one was.

Edam. That was actually pretty easy.

MA · #**159** 06-11-2009, 08:10 AM

i actually thought you were joking OddjobAbe. you've just dropped yourself in it!

Your correct with Edam.

this one is quite hard;

What english word means 'burning wood' when you take away the first letter of the word?

MeechMunchie · #**160** 06-11-2009, 09:02 AM

I'm going to say... member. As in ember. But there are probably multiple answers. And embers don't have to be from wood.
EDIT: Do you mean the action of burning something, or the adjective of something being on fire? If the former, it could be graze. As in raze. As in 'Raze to the ground'.

MA · #**161** 06-11-2009, 09:56 AM

dont worry, you were correct with 'member'.

feed me and i grow,
water me and i diminish.
what am i?

OddjobAbe · #**162** 06-11-2009, 09:58 AM

Fire?

MA · #**163** 06-11-2009, 10:04 AM

yep.

what goes around the world but stays in the corner?

OddjobAbe · #**164** 06-11-2009, 10:06 AM

Something in the corner of an aeroplane.

***Nate*** · #**165** 06-11-2009, 06:50 PM

A stamp on an envelope.

MA · #**166** 06-12-2009, 08:02 AM

What can run but never walks,
has a mouth but never talks,
has a head but never weeps,
has a bed but never sleeps?

OANST · #**167** 06-12-2009, 08:04 AM

River.

MA · #**168** 06-12-2009, 08:10 AM

bingo.

I am mother and father, but never give birth or nurse. I'm rarely still, but I never wander. What am I?

bit of a toughie.

OddjobAbe · #**169** 06-12-2009, 08:13 AM

A plant? A flower? A hermaphrodite in a straight jacket?

OANST · #**170** 06-12-2009, 08:18 AM

Sun and Moon. Or just the sun. Or maybe the Earth. Is it a fucking planet?

MA · #**171** 06-12-2009, 08:18 AM

OddjobAbe was right. i thought that was tough.

I went into the woods and got it.
I sat down to seek it.
I brought it home with me because I couldn't find it.
What is it?

OANST · #**172** 06-12-2009, 08:22 AM

Lice?

OddjobAbe · #**173** 06-12-2009, 08:22 AM

A small splinter?

OANST · #**174** 06-12-2009, 08:23 AM

No. It's lice.

MA · #**175** 06-12-2009, 08:24 AM

bloody good answer OANST. +rep.

im afraid OddjobAbe guessed it.

OddjobAbe · #**176** 06-12-2009, 08:25 AM

Holy shit, I was joking. I feel pleased with that. Funnily enough, I did almost say a centipide. OANST seems to have covered that for me with a similar thing, anyway.

MA · #**177** 06-12-2009, 08:27 AM

I am weightless, but you can see me.
Put me in a bucket, and I'll make it lighter.
What am I?

we have had this answer before, if that helps.

OddjobAbe · #**178** 06-12-2009, 08:28 AM

A hole?

MA · #**179** 06-12-2009, 08:30 AM

correct.

I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will,
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.
What am I?

i'm fairly sure no one will guess this in the next 3 posts.
